    TWO Singapore tech companies - social analytics startup ThoughtBuzz and industrial equipment firm Feinmetall - have emerged winners at Deloitte's 2014 Technology Fast 500 awards, which recognises the 500 fastest-growing tech companies in the Asia-Pacific from 2011 to 2013.

    ThoughtBuzz, ranked 138th with a revenue growth rate of 323 per cent over the three years, is Singapore's top performer. The startup, founded in 2009 and acquired four years later for an undisclosed sum by India's digital services firm TO THE NEW, said that the award came as a surprise, and it first heard of it through a client only on Thursday.
